MANCHESTER UNITED have three names in mind if they miss out on Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann, according to reports.
By JACK OTWAY
The Manchester Evening News claimed the France international is set to complete an £86million move to Old Trafford at the end of the season.
However, The Independent report that United still have a long way to go before they land their man.
Club chiefs fear Griezmann could simply be using their interest in order to force Real Madrid to come in for him.
And it is said they have considered three alternatives if they miss out on the 26-year-old.
The first is Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski who has scored 33 goals from 37 games for his club this season.
The Poland international nearly arrived at United in 2012 but the Red Devils opted for Arsenal hitman Robin van Persie instead.
Despite liking Lewandowski, however, United fear he would be too difficult to obtain.
Other options include Everton's Romelu Lukaku and Monaco's Kylian Mbappe.
Lukaku looks set to leave Everton after refusing to sign a new contract.
United could attempt to sign him but Mourinho is reluctant to meet the Toffees' £70million asking price.
Mbappe, meanwhile, is on United's radar but has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
